Pixelated Spacesuit Sneakers

The Nike Air Tech Challenge II Sneakers are Out of This World

— May 22, 2014 — Fashion
The latest update of the retro Nike Air Tech Challenge II 'Backhand' sneakers cleverly combine a modern thick-sole silhouette with an out of this world all-white color scheme.

The 'Backhand' version of the Nike Air Tech Challenge II creatively updates designer Andre Agassi's original old-school design. The Nike Air Tech Challenge II sneakers ingeniously mix an athletic functionality with a wider, skater-style silhouette. The shoe is made from high-quality, astronaut-worthy white leather, rendering these kicks perfect for running around the city doing errands or hanging out at dapper occasions. These update sport kicks feature an innovative blue and red pixel accent along the bottom of the shoe and an eye-catching blue Nike swoosh. The playful mix of blue, red and white color-scheme bring to mind the colors of the American flag.
Trend Themes
1. Retro Sneaker Revival - The popularity of retro sneakers is on the rise, creating an opportunity for brands to update and modernize classic designs.
2. Skater-style Silhouettes - Skater-style sneakers with wider silhouettes are gaining traction, offering a fresh alternative to traditional athletic shoes.
3. Pixelated Accent Details - Footwear with pixelated accent details, like the blue and red pixels on the Nike Air Tech Challenge II sneakers, provide a unique and eye-catching design element.
Industry Implications
1. Sportswear - Sportswear brands can capitalize on the demand for retro sneakers by reviving and reinventing classic styles with modern updates.
2. Streetwear - Streetwear brands can incorporate skater-style silhouettes into their designs to cater to the growing interest in wider, more relaxed footwear.
3. Fashion Accessories - Fashion accessory brands can experiment with pixelated accent details on shoes, bags, and other products to add a playful and visually striking element to their collections.
